"Turning Sense Into Dollars" - Why Vision is so Important

Today I am proud to unveil
my new logo for “Fake It Till You Make It”!
I’m really excited about how the logo expresses the vision of what I
hope to accomplish with this blog. I’m
especially excited about the new tag line “Turning Sense Into Dollars” – an awesome
suggestion from my very supportive husband.

In a training
meeting this week, my youth pastor shared a really good insight that “vision
leaks”. What he meant by that is that
without intentional reminders of what your vision is – you can easily forget
why you do what you do. I have been very
busy and playing catch-up lately, and I think it’s a great time to revisit my why,
because busyness often defeats passion - at least in my life.

So why am I so
passionate about spreading the “Fake It Till You Make It” approach? Driving most things I do in my life is a
desire to see great potential reached. Sometimes to reach great potential
you have to do more with less, at least for a little while. I’m hoping that I can help make that process
a little easier with this blog. I hope
that my tips for making money go a bit further will help people to reach a
greater level of financial security. I hope that my career
advice will help people to demonstrate and sell their skills with the
confidence they deserve to have. I hope
that people will realize with a little ingenuity and common sense they can achieve
a lot more than they may have thought possible.

So that’s the vision
behind “Fake It Till You Make It”. Last
night I had an exciting and somewhat daunting opportunity to network about that
vision, and despite the voice in my head telling me to give into my nerves and
say no – I took it! A very nice woman in
line behind me at Chipotle offered me a coupon for free chips and guacamole
(yum!). This sparked a brief
conversation about couponing, and then we went back to paying attention to our
grumbling stomachs. That little voice
that you always want to ignore told me that I should tell her about my blog
though, and so I did. She seemed excited
to read it, and just like that I got a notch in my networking belt, and I
rekindled my vision. Double win.

This may sound very
cheesy, but in my quest to see others reach full potential – “Fake It Till You
Make It” may be helping me to reach mine as well. Another double win, I suppose. Thank you for following me on this journey so
far, and may we all have the wisdom to turn our “sense” into many more dollars.
